When you purchase a Nintendo-published game (or a few select third-party releases), each product comes with a registration code for Club Nintendo. But a new patent may indicate that those cards could be phased out for a new system.

In place of the inserts, a code would instead be included on the box itself. This may make registration easier and consumers would be less likely to lose codes.

Naturally questions would arise about the possibility of fraud. However, a fairly in-depth system described in the patent includes preventative measures.

As described by NintendoWorldReport, the finder of the patent:

“While printing the code on the exterior could lead to fraud, Nintendo envisions a system where all registrations are tracked with purchase information. If an account has several duplicate registrations, the customer’s account is flagged and potentially revoked. An example is if a rogue store employee copied and registered serial numbers after selling an item to a customer, but before the customer had a chance to register it.

“The system would also tie in with retailers in an attempt to reduce fraud. Upon purchase, the code is scanned into a computer at the retailer. This tells Nintendo that the product was purchased legitimately, which is of special concern in regard to Nintendo point cards. If customers register a product on Club Nintendo but later return it, the Club Nintendo coins for that product are removed from the account. If a customer has already spent those points, he/she will be disallowed from returning the product. The system would require a computer at each retailer to handle scanning and reporting of the serial numbers.”

We should point out that the patent was published yesterday, but was filed in 2010. Make of that what you will.

Track down the playable Yoshis by finding the Mario Tennis Open QR codes

18th May – In an exciting Nintendo 3DS exclusive, a massive Yoshi hunt will soon become available ahead of the upcoming Mario Tennis Open launch on 25th May. The hunt, entitled The Yoshi Chase, will involve tracking down a series of different-coloured Yoshis, playable in Mario Tennis Open, through corresponding QR codes released over the coming weeks through various channels. The Black Yoshi will be the first to be released but there are many more in the pipeline so keep your eyes peeled.

Each Yoshi QR code will be released in a variety of different ways and at different times, so you will have to stay alert to find them – the Black Yoshi will be distributed first exclusively through 30 Asda stores on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th May, between the hours of 9.30AM and 5.30PM. White, Blue and Red Yoshi will follow at a later date. These characters can only be activated with the QR code held by in-store sampling teams, so be sure to come down with your Nintendo 3DS so you don’t miss out.

Square Enix opened a teaser site for “DvsD” a few hours ago. However, no one seems to know what it is – including myself!

Hopefully Square Enix will pull back the curtain on DvsD soon.

You can keep track of the site here.
